HTML 4 applet Tag
Obsolete in HTML5
This tag is obsolete in HTML5, so it's best to avoid using it.
The HTML applet tag is used for embedding a Java applet within an HTML document.
The applet tag is deprecated in HTML 4.01 and is not supported in XHTML (strict DTD) or HTML 5. Use the HTML object tag instead.
